Director Statement
In the fall of 2023, I experienced the worst depressive episode of my life. After months of being unable to function, I wrote in my diary that I will become a mother to myself. Slowly, holding my hand as a mother to her child, I healed. This film is a record of my survival – a diary entry to myself during that fall, when I promised myself that everything was going to be okay, as long as I stayed by my side.
